I'm just too hot for him to handle. Anyway, it is not my responsibility that he is unemployed now. It is his responsibility to get a good job. So if he can't handle the marriage then why did he propose? He proposed so It's his responsibility to take up all that comes with it. It's all his fault. The women's charter is here to defend women from such losers.
Last night we discussed about it and I have been very kind to him so i don't see any reason why i should be 'more kind'. i tried to make it easy for him by giving him the option of giving me the whole flat and an alimony of 2k a month. But he begged and cried asking me to have mercy on him he cannot afford the alimony. I have never seen someone as pathetic as him. How do you expect me to stay married to a loser like him? He can't even afford the lawyers fees and now i have to fork out the lawyers fees to divorce this useless man. Luckily we got no children. But thanks for the advise. I will get the lawyer to further advise.
Hi cath_rina,
Of course it's not your fault that he is unemployed. I m sure he proposed partly because he loves you. It takes two to get married, you mentioned that he can't handle the marriage. Do you remember yourself saying the marriage vows? Do you remember the vows:
To Bride
Will you, _________________ take this man _________________ to be your wedded husband, to live together in the ligal estate of matrimony? Will you love him, comfort him, honour and keep him in sickness and in health and forsaking all others, be faithful to him, so long as you both shall live?
We cannot just point a finger at a person for everything that goes wrong in our life. We are not perfect and everyone has flaws don't you agree? When you say he cannot handle the marriage, did you handle your marriage well? I m not judging you because I don't know your past and everything that occured in your relationship. But it's quite clear that you also didn't handle your marriage well because you didn't comfort him, honor and keep him in sickness (in this case during his down time being unemployed) and in health. You also didn't remain faithful to him.
By asking for the whole house to be given to you and alimony of 2k per month when there's no children to feed, during this time when it's clear that he cannot afford it, is not making things easier for him. Even if you do not wish to be kind to another human being, on the practical side, it's not logical to get someone to pay more than what they can afford. You can talk to the lawyer and try to use the woman charter to benefit you as much as possible but in your scenario, the judge will most likely, reject your request. There's no children involved and he is not exactly at fault (adultery or addictions) in this divorce. In most cases, the terms are 50-50. Unless he is owing you money or the house is totally paid by you, or else, it will be 50-50 if you are holding the flat under joint tenancy.
From your post, I can really sense that you despise him and even hate him (correct me if I m wrong). May I know what crime he committed that cause you to hate him this much? I always believe that we shouldn't push a person to the brink, even if you divorce him, he still needs to live right? And you are also a human being you know, there might be a time when you need someone to be kind to you when you are down or vulnerable. How can you be sure that you will always keep your job and earn this amount of money throughout your working years? How can you be sure that you will always be healthy? How can you be sure that the man you are dating currently is not a jerk or can always provide for you? How can you be sure that your future partner is better than your current hubby? I still hope that you will be fair to your hubby when it comes to divorce proceeding. You never know, maybe one day, you might need his help.
Anyway, I have read about ex hubby killing the Wife when the Wife tries to push the ex to the brink by asking for everything and he is left with nothing. Or people may sometimes commit suicide when they fall into depression and feel like life is hopeless. If there is an ending to your marriage, make it 好来好散. Save yourself some lawyer fees by setting a term that He can abide. You are still drawing an income, you are not penniless. Give him some room to start afresh. Money is important, but not till the extent that you describe. Why would you need 2k from him when there's no children to feed? I m quite sure the judge will not grant you your demands due to your hubby's current earning power. I believe you are a practical woman, so please be practical in your divorce demand.
